Another view of the Opposition.

Special TO Chicago Tribune-
Secretary Lamar is intensely worked mp over
the delay of the Senate in confirming him
associate justice of the Supreme Court. The
judiciary COMMITTEES. contrary to all reports, did
not meet to-day and there is no reason to sup
pose it will ees-soeether till Monday. Mean
while every day brfugs out something against
Lamar and he is getting hysterical, wildly
charging that the opposition to him is partisan.
The truth is his support is partisan. Several
Democratic Senators are convinced OF his unit
ness and if it were not for party pressure would
advise the President to withdraw his name
Letters have been received from the South
where il was supposed there would be no oppo-
sition, strongly objecting to Lamar on the
ground that he is utterly without legal exper-
ience. Senator Pugh, of Alabama, who heads
the Democrats on the committee, has been the
leader in the movement against putting men on
the bench who more than sixty years old.
He will probably be compelled to go back on his
record. Lamar is offering his family Bible In
evidence to prove that he is in his sixty third
year, and is not sixty-seven. He holds that
Justice Blatchford was confirmed at that age
and that the Senate should follow the same rule
in his case. If it is that Justice Blatchford
went on the bench at sixty two. IL was also true
that he was eminent as . lawyer. No one will
make this claim on behalf Of the Secretary Of
the Interior.

the confirmation is mnrh moro vigorous than
anybody anticipated, a<d that much of this op-
position comes from Southern Democrats who
know Dir. Lamar's temperament thoroughly.
and do not believe that he is composed of the
material out of which ideal judges are made.
Members of the COMMITTEES have been flooded
with letters on this suhiect, aud Republicans
have furnished all the dsta omitted by South
ern Democrats to make out the strongest kind of
a case against Mr.. Lunar. Many of these let
tiers are more vigorous than courteous. The
writer's demand to know whether the con-
temptibIe sentiment Known senatorial
courtesy will induce loyal Republican Senators
to elevate to the Supreme Bench avowedly
unrepentant secessionists who declares that JEFF
ferson Davis was not traitor, who sympa-
thized with the Ku-klux murders, and who was
fined and disbarred for striking murde-ously
witness against persons who were arrested for
ku-kiux murders
Altogether the character which is given to
Mr. Lamar, both by Democrats and Republic
ans is rather unusual in a candidate for the Su-
preme Bench, and added TO this is plentiful
lack of experience, both as a lawyer and q judge.
which makes the nomination seem quite ridicu-
lous IN the Judgment OF many of the opposition.
If prevailing impressions are OF any value, how
ever, as prophetic signs, senatorial courtesy"
will confirm Mr.. Lamar, but not with the unan-
unity which that gentleman probably would
prefer.

THE POLICE FORCE.

The police force of Julesburg, which was
under the direct supervision of the Police
Judge was, it is safe to say, one of the best
maintained in any Western city. 1t was
composed of twenty-five men, brave, trust
worthy and true. They were well paid, re-
ceiving $l25 per month. Their salaries,
however, were not at all out of proportion
to the difficulty and danger which ATTENDED
the performance of their daily work. The
cost of maintaining the force was defrayed
by the heavy fines imposed by the Police
Judge on the prisoners who were brought
before him

Unhappy Ladies.

Herald says: "The ladies who annually 60

the Council and pass both days and nights
there during such meeting, literally do not
sleep upon "A bed of roses" in the old home
of the Father of His Country Some Of
them are not mnaturally depressed by their
nights in the gloomy old place. They think
OF the last solemn hours Of George and
Martha Washington passed and ended per-
haps in the very room they occupy, and an
uncanny feeling creeps over them which
murders sleep. And then the old-fashioned
beds upon which Gen Washington and his
estimable wife were wont to sleep the sleep
OF the just are in unpleasant contrast TO the
luxurious modern ones in their own homes.
The ceilings, too, are low, making the tall
ones of these ladies stoop in an unpleasant
way when moving about the chambers as
signed them. And then again when they
are living in this way at Mount Vernon the
ladies breakfast at $50, dine at $3.50 and
have regular Southern supper of hot
breads, preserves, cake, etc, at s, which ar

What Did He Mean,
From the Baltimore .Aperican.

WASHINGTON, May ga strange remark
fell from the Presidents lips Friday after
noon, Just at the close of his reception.
Always on reception days there are few
people who linger until the crowd has passed
through the door leading from the East
room, in order that they may have better
opportunity of speaking with the President
after the great rush is over. Particularly
is this the case with ladies' To these he
always chats pleasantly for few moments,
and says things that he would have neither
the time nor the inclination to say
with SO many hearers around him. Friday
afternoon two ladies stayed in the rear of
the procession, and when they shook the
Presidents hand stopped to converse with
him. One of them was the wife of Geor-
gia politician, and the other a sister of
Georgia newspaper man. As the former
grasped his hand, she said 'Mr. President,
il was my good fortune to attend your re-
ception ore year ago, and it gives me
great pleasure to attend another to-day. |
congratulate you on your successful ad-
ministration and good fortune, and assure
you that Georgia is for you. The people
of Georgia are with you, and it is my
earnest wish to see you here for another
term The President replied:
Nj am most happy to have you attend
another of my receptions | am profoundly
thankful for your kind and encouraging
words, and grateful to the people of Georgia
for their support, but / am afraid iciH
lleuer see the end of my present term"
These words were not spoken jestingly,
but, apparently, in dead, sober earnest.
There was not the glimmer of joke about
them-as far as could be seen--and the
President walked away as the few listeners
who remained looked in each others faces,
as if seeking some Interpretation of his
ominous words. What did the President

A Ridiculous Affair.
From the st. James Gazette.

From the ST. James Gazette.
While DR.. Young, an officer belonging to
the Woolwich Garrison, was escorting some
ladies up the river to Vauxhall about the
year 1720, he played them some tunes on a
flute. Behind them was a boat, in which
were several officers, rowing for the same
goal, and, as these soon came alongside the
one the doctor and his party were in, he
ceased playing.
One of the officers Immediately asked
why he did So For the same reason be-
gam" answered DR. Young--to please my
self" The reply to this was an order to
continue playing, ending with a threat that
if he did not do SO ne lthe officer would toss
the doctor into the Thames. DR.. Young
complied with the insolent demand and
played all the way up the river to Vauxhall.
During the evening, however, the doctor
observed the officer, who had been so must
cally inclined, by himself in one of the
walks, when he went up to him, and with
great GOODNESS said: at was, sir, to
avoid interrupting the harmony of either
my company or yours that [ complied
with your arrogant demand, but that you
may learn courage is to be found under
black coat as well as under red one, | ex-
pect you will meet me tomorrow morning
at certain place without any second, the
quarrel being entirely between ourselves"
The doctor further covenanted that the
affair should be decided by swords, to all of
which conditions the officer readily agreed.
The parties met the following morning as
had been arranged; but, the moment the
officer had taken his ground and drawn his
sword, the doctor pulled out a pistol and
presented it at him What" exclaimed the
officer in fright, ''do you mean to assassi-
nate meF
NO" replied the doctor, 'but you shall
instantly put up yonr sword and dance a
minuet; otherwise you are dead man."
The other at this began to swear at his oppo-
nent as well as TO VOW he would do nothing
of the kind; but the doctor was
reslolute, giving the officer clearly to under
stand that if he did not begin the dance
before he (Young) counted thirty the threat
would be carried into effect. In slow time
the doctor began to count lone, two, three"
and by the time he had got up to ''ten" the
sword was returned into its sheath, and be-
fore he had counted twenty the officer
was going through minuet, as stately as a
man could do that had loaded pistol
levelled' within but a few feet of his head.
After a quarter of an hours practice the
muzzle of the pistol was lowered, the holder
of it saying as it fell: THAT will do, sir; we
are now quits. You forced me to play
against my will, and | have compelled you
10 dance against yours. Being now on
level, will give you whatever other salts
faction you require. The next affair viii Of
course be with seconds. You know where
TO find me. Good morning. The doctor,
however, heard no moro of the matter.

them up just as they would cattle. When a

lassoed just as the boys would handle a cow
and brought back. Then they were driven
